Resveratrol was shown to trigger autophagic cell death through increased expression of Atg5, 7, 9, and 12 proteins in a human hepatitis C-induced hepatoma cell line.125 Also, Filippi-Chiela et al.126 observed that resveratrol induced the formation of autophagosomes through upregulation of Atg5, Beclin-1, and LC3-II in glioblastoma cells. Here, ATG5 is linked to hepatitis C virus infection.
